Maybe thin lizzy?

It depends on what you want to hide! If you have scars on your arms, you could wear a dress with a white (or whatever color that works) fantastic lacy scoop neckline and long, cool, big & beautiful lacy sleeves. Find beautiful sleeves that cover your scars.

Scars on your legs - well, I guess the answer to that would be a long dress or long skirts. Long skirts are back in style again. Good heavy makeup, with come concealer under the makeup in areas where you need more coverage if it's your face. Or you could go to a makeup artist and have it done professionally, jus for that day. And learn in the process a happier way to dress and look pretty to make yourself feel good.

I would put SO much emphasis on the beautiful things that you wear to cover whatever it is that you want to cover, that those fantastic thins would become your focal point. (Like in a painting.) That way, the scars would disappear from sight, and the beauty would stand out. You're beauty!

I would say nothing about it to anyone. Just smile, be happy with yourself, and see what kind of responses you get from the people.

Good luck, have fun and enjoy!

Don't worry, your scars won't be the main focus of the wedding. People usually don't even notice unless they are looking for them. If they are prominent, I would suggest blending some concealer onto them. If you are embarrassed about seeing a beauty professional, then you can always search some tutorials online. Maybe ones that specialize in hiding scars.

Thank you for your comments :)
Might be a little awkward seeing a beauty therapist :/
